Reds Fight Fog and Rumors Over Formosa Straits Clash
In Formosa Strait reports, Chinese Reds reportedly attacked a Nationalist outpost on Wuchiu Island but landing outcomes remained unclear. Nationalists claimed repulsion with losses, while best reports noted warplanes and ships counterattacking and heightened alertness on shore. In Berlin, Hoover lauded West Berlin’s stand against Red atheism and urged moral resistance. In California, dense fog crippled air and sea travel with a Coast Guard rescue near Catalina Island and widespread crashes, one presumed fatal.

Lawyers Debunk Blood Trail in Marilyn Sheppard Case
Defense lawyers cast doubt on a blood trail theory in Marilyn Sheppard’s murder, suggesting vegetable matter or mosquitoes could explain the spots. A state chemist testified that benzidine tests can show a blue glow for blood, but admitted other substances like fresh vegetables and certain chemicals can trigger similar reactions. The prosecution argued intruders could have been in the house long enough to create the pattern, while the defense questioned the intruder theory.

U S Officials Hope China Spy Trials Boomerang for Reds
Washington officials today hoped Peiping's detention of 13 Americans as spies would boomerang against Communist China. They foresee two likely results: loss of support for China’s bid for UN recognition and a stalled Formosa compromise with Britain. Eisenhower sent Thanksgiving messages to the families. Sadat Jr. called the sentences barbaric and argued China should not join the UN.

Peiping Radio Claims Spies Admit Espionage for America
Peiping Radio said 13 Americans sentenced as spies admitted renewed specialist training in espionage and guerrilla warfare at a public trial. The 11 airmen and two civilians were captured in Korea and sentenced by a military court to terms from four years to life. The United States and Britain deny the charges as false and a Geneva Convention violation. Col. John Knox Arnold Jr. of Silver Spring, Maryland, claimed he was in intelligence work and that his wing was not in Korea. The broadcast offered no explanation for the trial delay.
